QUOTE(kurniawanK @ Mar 17 2016, 09:29 PM) planning to cop an UB as well. The soles on UB's are basically a piece of black rubber around 3mm in thickness that is stuck on top of the boost unit. As you can expect, durability will definitely be an issue if you plan to run in it constantly. Don't think this will be an issue for me as I only plan to use these on casual walks mixed with some light running (chasing my daughter, etc.).Having said that, the newer UB's with the Continental soles are supposed to be tougher and last longer (but the colours suck in my opinion). If you're looking for durability, better go for the PB ZG Prime or something with thicker soles. |

QUOTE(Yiha9944 @ Mar 17 2016, 10:44 PM) Hey bro, Allow me to explain. Ends charge flat rate shipping fees to msia. However, the actual shipping fees is actually way more than that. that's why your tax is higher. Exp: 2 pairs of sneakers shipping in volumetric 5kg roughly will cost USD50 (actual shipping cost) but Ends only charge us USD28 (flat rate) but our custom wil tax us based on the actual item price listed on the shipping slip plus the actual shipping cost the forwarding company charge the merchant. Hopefully these explain sorry, i still don't get this. i know customs will charge us tax but how can they bump up the shipping cost from flat rate to "actual shipping cost"? or am i ustnding this wrong? |

Although the NMD's are nice, the Olive UB's are even better. yup. wont be q-ing in the future. but, that might change if i have some free time and dropping something i really like. copped this CW. but today am swapping to get the Olives UB. weird bcoz you guys were just talking about it. They're pretty much sought after by UB heads everywhere since there has not been a restock for that colour in a while. |

Last time i also couldnt get this right. Allow me to explain in more details.Shipping fees at Ends = Flat rate at USD28 (kindly bear in mind the actual shipping fees Ends pay to FedEx is far more than what Ends charges us thus the actual shipping fees is actually stated on the shipping slip. Whatever amount more than the flat rate USD28 Ends absorb) 6%GST is calculated based on the actual Item price + the "shipping fees" stated on the slip not the shipping fees we paid.

QUOTE(wira1979 @ Mar 18 2016, 10:34 AM) If not mistaken many sneakerhead on youtube has review UB the outsole worn out quite fast even with light running so bear in mind with that and that's why adidas heard the voice of collector and decided to replace it with continental rubber which will be release in May |

QUOTE(titan @ Mar 18 2016, 05:42 PM) I'm not a fan of the colour olive but that is an attractive looking shoe. Enjoy man. I'm going to spend a lot of time in my UB's this weekend and if all goes well, there's a real danger I'll get another pair next week. My wife is going to kill me. |

QUOTE(titan @ Mar 19 2016, 01:38 AM) hey, thanks man. Am digging your OG too. About the same here but not as hyped as in Malaysia. Maybe because sneakers are more expensive here due to their higher import duty/ tax. For example, heard that NMD's are sold out everywhere in Malaysia but over here, there are still shops that still have the odd sizes. And same here bro. Wanting to cop the burgundys then i would chill from the scene for a bit. Else, wife will kill me too. Btw, hows the community in indo? A lot of sneaker hunters and resellers? New Balance are quite popular here maybe because they're relatively cheaper compared against the swoosh and three stripes. I'm now hunting for a UB in a shade of blue. I should be OK for a few months after that (I think). |
